There is nothing that makes Gwangmyeong unique from any other neighborhood of Seoul or Gyeonggi-do, except for the Bicycle Velodrome. The Gwangmyeong Market, located near Gwangmyeong Samgori station on line 7, is a traditional Korean market.

The main area to eat and make merry in Gwangmyeong is the Cheolsan subway station area, which has just about anything for a night out: restaurants, bars, karaoke boxes, shooting ranges, batting cages, DVD viewing rooms and the like.
